Australian Politics@aussie.zone•Australia will impose mandatory safety rules on AI. Are we focused on the right risks? (not a weird pdoom cultist)
0·24 hours agoI’m no luddite, I have a grad dip in data science and had such high hopes for machine learning. But all I can say these days is, Fuck AI and the 5 legged horse it rode in on. It’s a cancer that needs to be excised before it’s too late.

Australia@aussie.zone•Bupa aged care residents asked to pay $42 a day for hot breakfastsEnglish

Australian Politics@aussie.zone•The US midterms should put Australian politicians on notice over the data centre boom - Sarah Hanson-Young
0·3 days agoWe need digital infrastructure, secure domestic data storage and computing capacity to support our economy and public services. But there is a fundamental difference between building infrastructure Australians need and allowing big US tech companies to establish enormous industrial facilities near our homes, schools and farms while communities absorb the costs.
I wish more people could see this. The tech exists and isn’t all bad, though it has fallen into the wrong hands.
